Legacy players aren't being cut off. The only problem is you choose to stick with an old console and it's only a matter of time to upgrade. This isn't an end of the line deal... Besides, I've still got my PS3 (as most people who upgraded probably do). What's so special a gift if I could just log in once on my PS3 to get it then go back to my PS4 immediately after?

  • Because you won't be able to do that after August 16th. You won't be able to just log into your character on your PS3. Infuse something. Then log into the same character on PS4 and get the infused item. That won't be a possibility after August 16th because nothing you do on a character on either console will affect the same character on the other console. They will be separate. If that is what you are asking. lol

  • You're right, but I still don't see the point. Especially for people who are either going to A) leave the game because they can't/won't upgrade and have less to do, or B) upgrade and lose whatever gift they got shortly after anyways.

  • Maybe not. But even though I don't have new stuff to do I still plan on playing. Mostly because of my clan. :)

  • But you are forgetting about the people who are choosing to stay on legacy and possibly play the game for another year or more on legacy. My opinion is that they should still get iron banner and trials like normal.

  • As I pointed out elsewhere in this thread, Iron Banner and Trials require active, dedicated support and development resources. Since legacy consoles will not be generating any revenue, paying for those resources has to come from somewhere else. This is not a profitable, sound business decision, which is one of the major reasons for the upcoming changes. Also, Microsoft has already said they're discontinuing support for the 360 this year, and Sony probably isn't far behind.

  • Make them not require active support.

  • Changing them to not require active support means a large amount of development, and I suspect additional hard drive space that the game would need. Lack of hard drive space is one of the reasons RoI is not being released on legacy consoles.
